The weekend ended as expected. $60 mill for ‘Kung Fu Panda’ and $40 for ‘You Don’t Mess with the Zohan,’ the studios reported earlier today. Both DreamWorks Animation and Adam Sandler can be pleased. DreamWorks only opened higher with ‘Shrek 2′ and ‘Shrek the Third’ and Sandler had his usual $40 million opening. Nothing to be ashamed of, I’d say.

We noted how ‘Indiana Jones 4′ and ‘Sex and the City’ swapped places yesterday, and they didn’t swap back this Sunday. Indy did $6.7 million on Sunday, while ‘Sex’ grossed another $6 mill. Their totals were respectively $22.8 million and $21.3 million. A close call and I expected a higher second weekend for ‘Sex and the City,’ after it held up so well during the weekdays. Monday and Tuesday will show its definite staying power. I personally expect it to hop to the third place again, maybe even passing ‘Zohan.’

‘The Strangers’ came in last, but not least. Considering the $9 million budget, it had an amazing second weekend. It topped its budget with $9.3 million and now stands at a total of $37.5 million. This must give Liv Tyler a lot of credit at the box office.

Next week is another big one. Will ‘The Incredible Hulk’ smash into the box office? And does ‘The Happening’ even stand a chance?

Got some nice production stills from M. Night Shyamalan’s new movie at Cinema em Cena (via /Film). The $57 million movie will release in most major territories June 13. Guess what day that is? Yes, Friday 13.

Scawy.

With the summer around the corner, everybody is betting one the new ‘Indiana Jones’ to take the top spot. People in other countries may go out swimming or sunbathing, but the US has its bussiest season during those days, with 40% of the tickets sold between May and August.

Last year a whopping $9.62 billion was made, with summer blockbusters like ‘Spider-man 3,’ ‘Shrek the Third’ and ‘Transformers.’ But this summer isn’t short on potential box office wonders either. Here are the candidates with their budgets as found on the speculative internet.

• ‘The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian’ ($100 million)
• ‘Speed Racer’ ($100 million)
• ‘Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’ ($125 million)
• ‘The Dark Knight’ ($150 million)
• ‘The Incredible Hulk’ ($125 million)
• ‘Iron Man’ ($186 million)
• ‘The Happening’ ($57 million)
• ‘Wall-e’ ($120 million)
• ‘Tropic Thunder’ ($150 million)
• ‘Meet Dave’ ($100 million)
• ‘You Don’t Mess with the Zohan’ ($75 million)
• ‘Sex and the City: The Movie’ ($65 million)
• ‘The X-Files: I Want to Believe’ ($35 million)
• ‘Get Smart’ (”biggest Peter Segal budget,” $100 million maybe?)
• ‘Hancock’ (??)
• ‘The Love Guru’ (??)

You don’t have to add up all these budgets to know it will be a good summer for Hollywood.
